Drawings and paintings by Tyler Vlahovich usually appear faceted, fractured, cut up and/or pushed together. They sometimes seem be in search of a language or communication via the sense of agitation and/or conversation between the shapes, forms and colors. The scale and paint applications plays with notions of easel painting from the early and mid twentieth century, yet there are emotional, psychological, and sensual qualities reflecting contemporary issues. While a personal narrative seems to direct their making, they never reveal any such thing. They remain specific yet vague.
